INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican Eric Holcomb will be working with GOP supermajorities in the Legislature when he takes office as Indiana's new governor in January.
Republicans won 70 Indiana House seats, keeping them over the two-thirds majority mark needed to take action even if no Democrats are present. Democrats had hoped to pick up at least the five seats needed to break the supermajority, but gained only a single seat.
Republicans also are keeping their state Senate supermajority as they will hold at least 40 of its 50 seats.
